When We Are Healthy

If we are not, is this always the opposite of when we are? If we are negative, is this sometimes appositionally in creative tension with when we are becoming more positive? If we are a noticed absence is this sometimes appositional to we are not yet fully perceived? And is this more oppositional when we are an unnoticed absence? Defying hostile misperceptions we need never become known appreciated positively regarded Or a newly observed absence merely appositional lack of connecting integrity waiting curiously aware we are not yet seen known regarded appreciated cherished And yet, or not still surviving where and when we once together thrived Or still reviving why now and then Earth once healthy thrived wealth of positively co-relating co-empathic co-regarding not retributively just me as also animatedly spirited more positively restoring restorying eco-we multiculturally natural outside multigenerational history of inside trauma and outside therapy If I am not merely the opposite of who we are becoming together more than appositionally apart Reconnecting egos oppositionally defiantly unhealthy unwealthy indigenously unwise anthro-supremacist upstarts and elder tarts cuz I can't say old -arts Here and now pestering parents and teachers, nurses and preachers: If we are not feeling physically sick, is this merely the EarthTribal opposite of when Others are thinking spiritually ill? Plotting, may not be planning designing, may not be re-creating maligning, feels unaligned threatening, couldn't be encouraging aggressing, feels spectacularly unkind regressing, not impressive dissociating, cause for not reassociating divesting, feels like lack of co-investment excommunicating, simply not communicating colonizing, sounds like a malignant tumor rumor punishing, seldom is rewarded with compassion traumatizing, encourages self-stigmatizing marginalizing, chronic traumatizing terrorizing, critical drama events Wandering uneased wondering if we are anthro-healthy inside, is this ever the diseased opposite of when we are feeling EarthTribe eased outside?
